When you must update a price in a read-only price book, you can change it in the PIM
source and reimport the price book. However, if there’s an emergency, you can use a workaround
within Business Manager to update the price directly in Commerce Cloud.
The workaround involves creating an editable price book with the new price and
rebuilding the search indexes. Because editable price books always take precedence over
read-only price books, the new price takes effect. We recommend you update the price in the XML
source and delete all updated price books by the end of the day.
To use read-only price books, contact your Salesforce admin to enable the High Scale
Price Books feature.
